First of all who and what are we.  We

  •  are a Registered Charity established in 1986.
  •  arrange Older Friends for children who will benefit from such a Friendship.
  •  operate in the County of Warwickshire.
  •  work closely with Social Services and local schools through the CAF system.
  •  are supported by Social Services and receive donations from Charities and    Business.
  •  we recruit car owning volunteers (18 years plus) to be an Older Friend to a child.  

The Younger Friend, the Child

  • is usually referred to us by Social Services.
  • is between the age 6 - 16 years.
  • will benefit from having an Older Friend.

The Older Friend will arrange a weekly outing of around 2 - 3 hours. The aim of the outing is to

  • give the Child a Friend.
  • stimulate.
  • develop.
  • build confidence, trust and character.
  • be enjoyable to both.
